Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bus master switchover unit and a method for operating redundant bus masters.
- bus subscribers are usually connected to a bus system, the data being transmitted via a bus system in accordance with a defined protocol.
- Special data transmission protocols require that at least one of the bus users functions as a so-called bus master, the bus master actively operating the transmission protocol.
- bus master fails in such a bus system, this usually results in at least a functional impairment of the other bus participants, if not a functional failure of all bus participants, because no data transmission via the bus is possible without the bus master.
- the bus system comes e.g. the Profibus, while as the bus master e.g. Central units of programmable logic controllers can be used.
- the central unit with peripheral units, in particular also decentralized, are directly controlled and / or monitored via the bus
- Process-provided peripheral units can be communicatively connected, whereby on the one hand the states of the technical process are recorded by the peripheral units and transmitted cyclically to the central units, and on the other hand control instructions are transmitted cyclically to the peripheral units.
- the object of the present invention is, on the one hand, a switchover unit, by means of which a bus master from a group of redundant bus masters can be connected to a non-redundant bus system, and, on the other hand, a Specify procedures for operating redundant bus masters on a non-redundant bus system.
- a bus master switching unit for connecting a bus master from a group of at least two redundant bus masters to a non-redundant bus system
- the bus master switching unit having at least connections for connecting one bus master each and at least one connection for connecting the has non-redundant bus systems and at least one bus changeover switch and means connected to the bus for controlling the bus changeover switch, the means or means being controllable exclusively by the bus master or masters, and the bus changeover switch depending on the switching position to connect one bus master connected to the bus master changeover unit causes the bus.
- a method for operating redundant bus masters on a non-redundant bus system is also achieved, wherein a bus master switchover unit is provided for connecting a bus master from a group of at least two redundant bus masters to the bus system, which has at least connections for connecting one bus master and at least one connection for Has connection of the non-redundant bus system and at least one bus changeover switch and means connected to the bus for controlling the bus changeover switch, the means or means being controlled exclusively by the bus master (s) and, depending on the switching position, the bus changeover switch connecting one bus master connected to the bus master changeover unit to the bus does this task.
- the bus master switchover unit can be implemented in terms of circuitry in a simple manner if the means or the means have outputs which, with appropriate control assume a predeterminable or predefined logic state for the control of the bus switch by the bus master (s) and thus bring about a defined switching position of the bus switch.
- the circuit-related feasibility of the bus master switchover unit is further facilitated if the means are designed as application-specific integrated circuits - ASIC - with a plurality of inputs and outputs, the inputs and outputs being written or written by the respectively connected bus master. are legible.
- a periodic signal change can be effected at least one output of the respective application-specific integrated circuit and this signal change can be recognized by the other bus master via at least one input of the respective application-specific integrated circuit, this is a particularly efficient monitoring option active bus master given by the redundant, currently passive bus master.
- the periodic signal change represents something like a "sign of life" of the active bus master. If there is no signal change during a predefined or specifiable period of time, this is evaluated by the passive bus master in such a way that the active bus master has failed. The passive bus master can then separate the failed bus master from the bus and "install" itself as bus master on the bus.
- a data transfer between a first bus master connected to the bus master switchover unit and a second bus master connected to the bus master switchover unit takes place via the inputs or outputs of the application-specific integrated circuits, or if the bus comprises at least one data line and the data line connects everyone to the bus master
- the bus master can be connected to the switchover unit bypassing the bus switchover, it is also possible to transmit the data transmitted on the bus to the passive bus master. This is done either by the active bus aster transmitting the data to the passive bus master via a communication path implemented between the application-specific integrated circuits, or by the passive bus master listening to the bus traffic at any time through a direct connection at least to the data line.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a bus master switchover unit
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a bus master switching unit and FIG. 3, 4 configurations of the bus master switching unit.
- a plurality of bus masters 1 ', 2' are connected to a non-redundant bus system 11 by means of a bus master switchover unit 10. ..n 'connectable.
- the bus master switchover unit 10 connects one of the bus masters 1 ', 2' ... n 'connected to it with the non-redundant bus system 11 to which, for example, peripheral modules 12 can be connected.
- peripheral modules 12 can be connected.
- a data line 11 'and a clock line two control lines, an alarm line, a ready line, a line for blocking the outputs of the peripheral modules 12 and the power supply are carried in the bus 11.
- the individual lines of the bus system 11 are not shown in FIG. 2 (the data line 11 ′ is shown as an individual line only in connection with the configuration of the bus master switch 10 according to FIG. 3 to be described below).
- the data line 11 is looped through by every bus subscriber connected to the bus system 11.
- the data transmission takes place according to a protocol system which supports an addressing of the bus participants 10, 12 connected to the bus 11 and a data transmission for different data lengths.
- a BUS-ASIC For the connection of simple peripheral modules 12, e.g. a digital input or digital output module 12, a BUS-ASIC is provided.
- This BUS-ASIC interprets the bus protocol and, in the operating mode relevant in connection with the present invention, provides an interface for 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs in the direction of the connected peripherals, it also being understood that embodiments with more or less than 16 inputs or Exits are conceivable; However, an integer divided by eight divisible number of inputs or outputs is common.
- bus ASIC is used in the bus master switchover unit 10 to control or trigger the switchover processes.
- each bus master 1 ', 2' ... n ' is connected to such a BUS-ASIC 4, 5.
- the bus master 1 ', 2' ... n 'actively operating the transmission protocol agreed for the bus system 11 is thus able to receive this 16 input information via the bus system 11 and can also send the 16 output information.
- predetermined or specifiable addresses are assigned to the input and output channels. Consequently, each individual bit of the 16 input information can be read separately and each individual bit of the 16 output information can be written separately.
- a large number of BUS-ASICs can be operated on the bus 11. However, the BUS ASICs are not shown in FIG. 1. As will be shown below with reference to the illustration according to FIG. 2, the BUS-ASICs suitable for operation on the bus 11 are switched on in a bus master switchover unit 10 for switching on a bus master 1 ', 2' ... n 'connected to the bus master switchover unit 10 uses the non-redundant bus system 11.
- bus masters 1 ', 2' for a bus system 11 be redundant, i.e. several times, e.g. To execute twice, a bus master 1 ', 2' always works actively with the peripherals 12 connected to the bus 11, i.e. it reads inputs and writes outputs.
- the passive bus master 2 ', 1' must be able to simulate the operations with the periphery 12 at least in the memory in order to be able to switch to the active state at any time.
- the bus master switchover unit 10 has two connections 1, 2 for a bus master 1 ', 2' and a connection 3 for connecting the peripheral modules 12 via the non-redundant bus 11,
- switchover unit 10 with more than two connections 1, 2 for bus masters 1 ', 2' - as already shown in FIG. 1 - and with more than one connection 3 for a bus system 11 are also conceivable.
- the bus switch 6 is e.g. designed as a multiplexer.
- a bus ASIC 4, 5 is assigned to each bus master connection 1, 2 and is looped into the chain of the peripheral ASICs in the first place with regard to the data line.
- BUS-ASICs such as the BUS-ASICs 4, 5 shown in FIG. 2 serve to connect the periphery to the bus system 11.
- bus systems in which the BUS-ASICs are connected in series and bus systems with parallel connection of the BUS ASICs.
- the BUS-ASICs 4, 5 are arranged in a chain, the BUS-ASICs 4, 5 being arranged in the first position of the chain, ie immediately behind the respective bus master 1 ', 2', according to the exemplary embodiment.
- the interfaces to the inputs and outputs of the BUS-ASICs 4, 5 form the peripheral side of the BUS-ASICs 4, 5.
- the BUS-ASICs 4, 5 use this periphery only to control the bus switch 6, which is completely hidden from the user.
- Real inputs or outputs for example external sensors or actuators of a technical process to be controlled and / or monitored, can be connected to the subsequent BUS-ASICs, that is to say that can be connected to the bus 11 outside the bus master switchover unit 10.
- the actual bus changeover switch 6 is arranged after the BUS ASICs 4, 5.
- the bus master 1 'or the bus master 2' can be switched through to the peripheral modules 12 using the bus changeover switch 6. Since the two bus ASICs 4, 5 are arranged in front of the bus switch 6, each bus master 1 ', 2' can operate the ASIC 4, 5 assigned to them at any time, that is, regardless of the current switching position of the bus switch 6.
- the bus changeover switch 6 is controlled by means of the individual output bits of the 16 output information items of the respective BUS ASICs 4, 5.
- the respective logical states of the output bits can be tapped at the connection points of the bus ASICs 4, 5 provided for this purpose.
- the logic states of two output bits of the BUS-ASIC 4 are tapped at the connection points 41, 42 of the BUS-ASIC 4; analogously, the logic states of two output bits of the BUS-ASIC 5 are tapped at the connection points 51, 52 of the BUS-ASIC 5.
- the logic states of the respective output bits are supplied to a switchover logic 7, 7 ', with on the one hand the output bit 41 of the BUS-ASIC 4 and the inverted output bit 51 of the BUS-ASIC 5 of the switchover logic 7 and on the other hand the output bit 42 of the BUS-ASIC 4 and the inverted output bit 52 of the BUS-ASIC 5 of the switching logic 7 'are supplied.
- switching signals 74, 75 are generated for the control of the switching unit 6, the switching signal 74 being generated by the switching logic 7 and for one intended for the bus changeover switching element 6 'and the switching signal 75 from the switching logic 7' is generated and control 'is provided for controlling a switching power supply provided for pre ⁇ switching element 6'.
- the switching elements 6 ', 6'' together form the switching unit 6.
- a special feature of the implementation according to the exemplary embodiment is therefore that on the one hand both the data lines and the supply lines can be switched over and that on the other hand the data lines and the supply lines can in principle be switched over separately from one another.
- the corresponding individual lines of the bus system 11 are of course fed to the switching elements 6 ', 6' 'so that they can effect the desired switchover.
- the switching elements 6 ', 6' 'so that they can effect the desired switchover.
- at least the data line, the clock line, the two control lines, an alarm line, a ready line and a line for blocking the outputs of the peripheral modules 12 are used for switching the bus by means of the switching element 6 ' switchable.
- at least the power supply can be switched over by means of the switching element 6 ′′ for the power supply circuit.
- the data exchange that is, at least the setting of certain output bits to a predeterminable logical state, with the so-called virtual peripherals 4, 5 is reserved for the firmware of the respective bus master 1 ', 2'.
- the 16 input and 16 output channels per BUS-ASIC 4, 5 can thus be used to control the bus switchover 6.
- a special feature of the switchover unit 10 is that it is operated itself on the bus 11 to be switched over, so that no special signals are required for the switchover. This makes it possible to interconnect existing bus masters 1 ', 2', which are not actually intended for redundancy operation, to form redundant systems.
- the switchover unit 10 supports the following processes when switching buses or when operating redundant bus masters 1 ', 2' on a non-redundant bus system 11:
- An output channel 44, 53 of each ASIC 4, 5 changes with a corresponding control by the respective bus master 1 ', 2' between logic 0 and logic 1 with each peripheral access cycle.
- the output channel 44, 53 is with an input channel 43, 54 of the other ASICs 5, 4 connected.
- the other bus master 2 ', 1' can thus monitor the function of the issuing bus master 1 ', 2'.
- the ASIC 4 When the ASIC 4 is activated by the active bus master 1 ', e.g. the output channel 44 for every peripheral access cycle between logic 0 and logic 1.
- the output channel 44 is connected to the input channel 54 of the other BUS-ASIC 5, so that the passive bus master 2 'connected to the BUS-ASIC 5' by reading out the state of the Input channel 54 can recognize the signal change.
- the continuous signal change is understood as a so-called “sign of life”.
- the output bus master 1 ', 2' has failed. 12 th of the bus master 1 ', 2' before (first switchover criterion), with the switchover the failed bus master becoming a passive bus master and its function being taken over by the redundant bus master.
- a bus master 1 ', 2' - e.g. for diagnostic purposes - also program-controlled switching of the bus master without the bus master to be passivated having to fail (second switching criterion).
- connection 45 does not necessarily have to be via a single bidirectional connection 45 but rather via a multiplicity, e.g. eight, individual lines which are led from the respective output channels of the first BUS-ASICs 4, 5 to the corresponding input channels of the second BUS-ASICs 5, 4.
- the switching logic distinguishes between a so-called “single mode * and a so-called” double mode *. If one of the bus masters is not available, has not yet started up or has failed, the redundant bus master is in "single mode *". The bus masters inform each other about their bit via a bit of the connection 44, 54 or 43, 53 13
- the respective passive bus master 2 ', 1' can filter out the input information from the transmission protocol.
- the data line 11 ' is brought to the bus master 1', 2 'regardless of the respective switching state of the bus switch 6, by the data line 11' past the switching elements 6 ', 6' 'past the bus masters 1 ', 2' is fed directly.
- a listening driver 13 is provided for decoupling.
- a second, additional bus system 20 which enables direct data exchange between the redundant bus masters 1 ', 2', is also conceivable, as shown in FIG.
- This additional bus system 20 is also optional and represents a further advantageous embodiment of the invention.
- a switchover unit 10 In order to operate a bus master 1 'from a group of redundant bus masters 1', 2 'on a fundamentally non-redundant bus system 11, a switchover unit 10 is provided, the special feature of the switchover unit 10 being that it itself is operated on the bus 11 to be switched over and consequently, no special signals are required to switch the bus masters 1 ', 2'.
- the central aspect of the present invention is therefore that the switchover unit 10 itself is operated on the bus 11 to be switched over, ie no special signals are required for the switchover. This makes it possible to interconnect existing bus masters that are not actually intended for redundancy operation to redundant systems.
